Butch has the biggest spirit I’ve ever seen in a pooch. His face is mesmerizing. The puppy prince loves everyone, and everyone loves him. He’s got a huge attitude in a 9-pound body and is the most demanding dog I’ve ever met. But the joy he brings us is immeasurable.He’s really sick, but don’t tell Butch that. He’s still happy, sweet, inquisitive and loving life.And so, … [Read more...] about Perfect Pomeranian: Doing what we can to keep him alive
